Nicol Winkler (AKA The Thirsty German and Turk were front and center to celebrate 24 years of Breckenridge Brewery! They closed off Kalamath between 4th and 5th in what will be the last anniversary bash at their current location. This was an amazing event with a pig roast, 6 bands, great people and of course, tasty suds. Every band rocked the stages hard and got us all dancing! It was our first time seeing the Magic Beans who were unbelievable. They did a bluegrass rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Tuesday’s Gone!!! During the show we had many a guests including Todd Thibault, Todd Usry and Matt Eldridge from Breck. They gave us the lowdown on 24 years and the plans moving forward into their new brewery on South Santa Fe. We also talked to Brian Bjork from Odell Brewing and Julia Wellington from Copper Kettle about their fundraising event A Night to Remember. Dan Rabin came on to talk about his new book Colorado Breweries. We even let Gary V on the show with his partner in crime Katie Nierling who also reps for Fort Collins Brewery. This was such a fun day that will never be repicated. Thanks to the breck crew (especially Sarah, Tebo, Usry and Matt), and all the supporters of this trend setting brewery for making this happen.

Second year in a row we were asked and stoked to be part of the South Denver Beer Fest! About 2 to 3 thousand people were on hand for this two day fest! The folks at Beer Craving really know what they are doing and throw an amazing beer, music and food fest! Make sure you mark your calendar for next year and the first weekend of May!

We broadcasted live from Breckenridge Brewery‘s 23rd Anniversary Hootenanny! Justin Lloyd from Star Bar co hosted with Turk. What a great party they threw at 471 Kalamath. Closed the street down, live music, great BBQ and of course some awesome Breck brews including small batch ones. Guests included: Todd Thibault and Matt Eldridge and Sarah Cokelar from Breck. Matt talked about a collaboration they did with Leftover Salmon and some local artists. Be looking out in the 12 pack summer samplers. We also talked to Brewmaster and Director of Brewing Operations Todd Usry. They are working on some new beers and updated us on the new brewery in Littleton. Other guests included Tim Myers of Strange Brewing live from the Brewer’s Rendezvous, PJ Huberman from Denver off the Wagon and Beer Despondents Mike Nelson and Trent Pope.
